Remember...they can make you use touch id...they can't make you give them your password.

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it.

I don't get why I can be forced to use my biometrics to unlock but I cannot be forced to give a pin. Doesn't jive in my brain.

"technicality" or "loophole" is probably the word.

I fully agree, forced biometrics is bullshit.

I say the same about forced blood removal for BAC testing. They can get a warrant for your blood, that's crazy to me.
